No. 61/522,085, filed Aug. 10, 2011, the contents of all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

1. FIELD

The disclosure relates to Compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof, compositions comprising an effective amount of a Compound of Formula (I) and methods for treating or preventing a condition such as pain, UI, an ulcer, IBD, and IBS, comprising administering to an animal in need thereof an effective amount of a Compound of Formula (I).

2. BACKGROUND

Pain is the most common symptom for which patients seek medical advice and treatment. Pain can be acute or chronic. While acute pain is usually self-limited, chronic pain persists for three months or longer and can lead to significant changes in a patient's personality, lifestyle, functional ability and overall quality of life (Foley, “Pain,” in Cecil Textbook of Medicine, pp. 100-107 (Bennett and Plum eds., 20th ed. 1996)).

Moreover, chronic pain can be classified as either nociceptive or neuropathic. Nociceptive pain includes tissue injury-induced pain and inflammatory pain such as that associated with arthritis. Neuropathic pain is caused by damage to the peripheral or central nervous system and is maintained by aberrant somatosensory processing. There is a large body of evidence relating activity at vanilloid receptors (Di Marzo et al., “Endovanilloid signaling in pain,” Current Opinion in Neurobiology 12:372-379 (2002)) to pain processing.

Nociceptive pain has been traditionally managed by administering non-opioid analgesics, such as acetylsalicylic acid, choline magnesium trisalicylate, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, fenoprofen, diflusinal, and naproxen; or opioid analgesics, including morphine, hydromorphone, methadone, levorphanol, fentanyl, oxycodone, and oxymorphone. Id. In addition to the above-listed treatments, neuropathic pain, which can be difficult to treat, has also been treated with anti-epileptics (e.g., gabapentin, carbamazepine, valproic acid, topiramate, phenytoin), NMDA antagonists (e.g., ketamine, dextromethorphan), topical lidocaine (for post-herpetic neuralgia), and tricyclic antidepressants (e.g., fluoxetine, sertraline and amitriptyline).

UI is uncontrollable urination, generally caused by bladder-detrusor-muscle instability. UI affects people of all ages and levels of physical health, both in health care settings and in the community at large. Physiologic bladder contraction results in large part from acetylcholine-induced stimulation of post-ganglionic muscarinic-receptor sites on bladder smooth muscle. Treatments for UI include the administration of drugs having bladder-relaxant properties, which help to control bladder-detrusor-muscle overactivity.

None of the existing commercial drug treatments for UI has achieved complete success in all classes of UI patients, nor has treatment occurred without significant adverse side effects.

Treatment of ulcers often involves reducing or inhibiting the aggressive factors. For example, antacids such as aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, and calcium bicarbonate can be used to neutralize stomach acids. Antacids, however, can cause alkalosis, leading to nausea, headache, and weakness. Antacids can also interfere with the absorption of other drugs into the blood stream and cause diarrhea.

H₂ antagonists, such as cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, and nizatidine, are also used to treat ulcers. H₂ antagonists promote ulcer healing by reducing gastric acid and digestive-enzyme secretion elicited by histamine and other H₂ agonists in the stomach and duodenum. H₂ antagonists, however, can cause breast enlargement and impotence in men, mental changes (especially in the elderly), headache, dizziness, nausea, myalgia, diarrhea, rash, and fever.

H⁺,K⁺-ATPase inhibitors such as omeprazole and lansoprazole are also used to treat ulcers. H⁺,K⁺-ATPase inhibitors inhibit the production of enzymes used by the stomach to secrete acid. Side effects associated with H⁺,K⁺-ATPase inhibitors include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal colic, headache, dizziness, somnolence, skin rashes, and transient elevations of plasma activities of aminotransferases.

Inflammatory-bowel disease (“IBD”) is a chronic disorder in which the bowel becomes inflamed, often causing recurring abdominal cramps and diarrhea. The two types of IBD are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

Crohn's disease, which can include regional enteritis, granulomatous ileitis, and ileocolitis, is a chronic inflammation of the intestinal wall. Crohn's disease occurs equally in both sexes and is more common in Jews of eastern-European ancestry. Most cases of Crohn's disease begin before age 30 and the majority start between the ages of 14 and 24. The disease often affects the full thickness of the intestinal wall. Generally the disease affects the lowest portion of the small intestine (ileum) and the large intestine, but can occur in any part of the digestive tract.

Cramps and diarrhea, side effects associated with Crohn's disease, can be relieved by anticholinergic drugs, diphenoxylate, loperamide, deodorized opium tincture, or codeine.

When Crohn's disease causes the intestine to be obstructed or when abscesses or fistulas do not heal, surgery can be necessary to remove diseased sections of the intestine. Surgery, however, does not cure the disease, and inflammation tends to recur where the intestine is rejoined. In almost half of the cases a second operation is needed. Berkow et al., eds., “Crohn's Disease,” Merck Manual of Medical Information, pp. 528-530 (1997).

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease in which the large intestine becomes inflamed and ulcerated, leading to episodes of bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. Ulcerative colitis usually begins between ages 15 and 30; however, a small group of people have their first attack between ages 50 and 70. Unlike Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis never affects the small intestine and does not affect the full thickness of the intestine. The disease usually begins in the rectum and the sigmoid colon and eventually spreads partially or completely throughout the large intestine. The cause of ulcerative colitis is unknown.

Treatment of ulcerative colitis is directed to controlling inflammation, reducing symptoms, and replacing lost fluids and nutrients. Anticholinergic drugs and low doses of diphenoxylate or loperamide are administered for treating mild diarrhea. For more intense diarrhea higher doses of diphenoxylate or loperamide, or deodorized opium tincture or codeine are administered.

Irritable-bowel syndrome (“IBS”) is a disorder of motility of the entire gastrointestinal tract, causing abdominal pain, constipation, and/or diarrhea. IBS affects three-times more women than men. In IBS, stimuli such as stress, diet, drugs, hormones, or irritants can cause the gastrointestinal tract to contract abnormally. During an episode of IBS, contractions of the gastrointestinal tract become stronger and more frequent, resulting in the rapid transit of food and feces through the small intestine, often leading to diarrhea. Cramps result from the strong contractions of the large intestine and increased sensitivity of pain receptors in the large intestine.

Treatment of IBS often involves modification of an IBS-patient's diet. Often it is recommended that an IBS patient avoid beans, cabbage, sorbitol, and fructose. A low-fat, high-fiber diet can also help some IBS patients. Regular physical activity can also help keep the gastrointestinal tract functioning properly. Drugs such as propantheline that slow the function of the gastrointestinal tract are generally not effective for treating IBS. Antidiarrheal drugs, such as diphenoxylate and loperamide, help with diarrhea. Berkow et al., eds., “Irritable Bowel Syndrome,” Merck Manual of Medical Information, pp. 525-526 (1997).

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” also includes a salt prepared from a Compound of Formula (I) having an acidic functional group, such as a carboxylic acid functional group, and a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic base. Suitable bases include, but are not limited to, hydroxides of alkali metals such as sodium, potassium, cesium, and lithium; hydroxides of alkaline earth metal such as calcium and magnesium; hydroxides of other metals, such as aluminum and zinc; ammonia and organic amines, such as unsubstituted or hydroxy-substituted mono-, di-, or trialkylamines; dicyclohexylamine; tributyl amine; pyridine; picoline; N-methyl-N-ethylamine; diethylamine; triethylamine; mono-, bis-, or tris-(2-hydroxy-(C₁-C₃)alkyl amines), such as mono-, bis-, or tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, 2-hydroxy-tert-butylamine, or tris-(hydroxymethyl)methylamine, N,N-di-[(C₁-C₃)alkyl]-N-(hydroxy-(C₁-C₃)alkyl)-amines, such as N,N-dimethyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, or tri-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine; N-methyl-D-glucamine; and amino acids such as arginine, lysine, and the like.

The compounds of the disclosure provided herein also encompass all solvates of the Compounds of Formula (I). “Solvates” are known in the art and are considered to be a combination, physical association and/or solvation of a Compound of Formula (I) with a solvent molecule, e.g., a disolvate, monosolvate or hemisolvate when the solvent molecule:Compound of Formula (I) molecule molar ratio is 2:1, 1:1 or 1:2, respectively. This physical association involves varying degrees of ionic and covalent bonding, including hydrogen bonding. In certain instances, the solvate can be isolated, for example when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. Thus, “solvate”, as used herein, encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. A Compound of Formula (I) of the disclosure can be present as a solvated form with a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, such as water, methanol, ethanol, and the like, and it is intended that the disclosure include both solvated and unsolvated Compound of Formula (I) forms. As “hydrate” relates to a particular subgroup of solvates, i.e., where the solvent molecule is water, hydrates are included within the solvates of the disclosure.

Preparation of solvates is known in the art. For example, Caira et al., “Preparation and Crystal Characterization of a Polymorph, a Monohydrate, and an Ethyl Acetate Solvate of the Antifungal Fluconazole,” J. Pharmaceut. Sci., 93(3):601-611 (2004), describes the preparation of solvates of fluconazole with ethyl acetate and with water. Similar preparations of solvates, hemisolvate, hydrates, and the like are described by Van Tonder et al., “Preparation and Physicochemical Characterization of 5 Niclosamide Solvates and 1 Hemisolvate,” AAPS Pharm. Sci. Tech., 5(1):Article 12 (2004), and Bingham et al., “Over one hundred solvates of sulfathiazole,” Chem. Comm., pp. 603-604 (2001). In one embodiment, a non-limiting, process involves dissolving the Compound of Formula (I) in a desired amount of the desired solvent (organic, water or mixtures thereof) at temperatures above about 20° C. to about 25° C., cooling the solution at a rate sufficient to form crystals, and isolating the crystals by known methods, e.g., filtration. Analytical techniques, for example, infrared spectroscopy, can be used to show the presence of the solvent in a crystal of the solvate.

The compounds disclosed herein also comprise all prodrugs of the Compounds of Formula (I). “Prodrugs” are known in the art and, while not necessarily possessing any pharmaceutical activity as such, are considered to be any covalently bonded carrier(s) that releases the active parent drug in vivo. In general, such prodrugs will be a functional derivative of a Compound of Formula (I) which is readily convertible in vivo, e.g., by being metabolized, into the required Compound of Formula (I). Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described in, for example, H. Bundgaard ed., Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier (1985); “Drug and Enzyme Targeting, Part A,” Widder et al., eds., Vol. 112 in Methods in Enzymology, Academic Press (1985); Bundgaard, “Design and Application of Prodrugs,” Chapter 5, pp. 113-191 in A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Krogsgaard-Larsen and Bundgaard Eds., Harwood Academic Publishers (1991); Bundgaard et al., “(C) Means to Enhance Penetration (1) Prodrugs as a means to improve the delivery of peptide drugs,” Adv. Drug Delivery Revs. 8:1-38 (1992); Bundgaard et al., “Glycolamide Esters as Biolabile Prodrugs of Carboxylic Acid Agents: Synthesis, Stability, Bioconversion, and Physicochemical Properties,” J. Pharmaceut. Sci. 77(4):285-298 (1988); and Kakeya et al., “Studies on Prodrugs of Cephalosporins. I. Synthesis and Biological Properties of Glycyloxygenzoyloxymethyl and Glycylaminobenzoyloxymethyl Esters of 7β-[2-(2-Aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]3-methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic Acid,” Chem. Pharm. Bull. 32:692-698 (1984).

Such a “radiolabeled”, “radiolabeled form”, and the like of a Compound of Formula (I), each of which is encompassed by the disclosure, is useful as a research and/or diagnostic tool in metabolism pharmacokinetic studies and in binding assays. “Radioactive”, as used herein with respect to an atom, means an atom that comprises a radioactive atom and therefore the specific radioactivity thereof is above the background level of radioactivity. Examples of radioactive isotopes that can be incorporated into a Compound of Formula (I) of the disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, such as ²H, ³H ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, ¹⁹F, ³⁶Cl, ³⁷Cl, ⁷⁶Br, ⁷⁷Br, ⁸¹Br, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹²⁵I, and ¹³¹I, respectively.

Radiolabeled compounds of the disclosure can be prepared by methods known in the art. For example, tritiated Compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared by introducing tritium into the particular Compound of Formula (I), for example, by catalytic dehalogenation with tritium. This method can include reacting a suitably halogen-substituted precursor of a Compound of Formula (I) with tritium gas in the presence of a suitable catalyst, for example, Pd/C, in the presence or absence of a base. Other suitable methods for preparing tritiated compounds can be found in Filer, “The Preparation and Characterization of Tritiated Neurochemicals,” Chapter 6, pp. 155-192 in Isotopes in the Physical and Biomedical Sciences, Vol. 1, Labeled Compounds (Part A) (1987). ¹⁴C-labeled compounds can be prepared by employing starting materials having a ¹⁴C carbon. Compounds containing piperazine isotopcially enriched with ¹³C and/or ¹⁵N can be prepared as described in, e.g., FIG. 5A and the associated description, of U.S. Pat. No. 7,355,045 B2. Radiolabeled compounds containing ¹⁸F at the 6-position of an aniline ring can be prepared as described in column 27 of U.S. Pat. No. 6,562,319 B2.

A Compound of Formula (I) can contain one or more asymmetric centers and can thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms. Unless specifically otherwise indicated, the disclosure encompasses compounds with all such possible forms as well as their racemic and resolved forms or any mixture thereof. The art recognizes that a geometric isomer is encompassed by a stereoisomer (See, e.g., the definitions of “stereoisomers” and “cis-trans isomers” appearing in the IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology, 2^(nd) Ed. (the “Gold Book”), McNaught et al., eds., Blackwell Scientific Publications, Oxford (1997)). When a Compound of Formula (I) contains an olefinic double bond or other center of geometric asymmetry, and unless specifically otherwise indicated, it is intended to include all “geometric isomers”, e.g., both E and Z geometric isomers. Unless specifically otherwise indicated, all “tautomers”, e.g., ketone-enol, amide-imidic acid, lactam-lactim, enamine-imine, amine-imine, and enamine-enimine tautomers, are intended to be encompassed by the disclosure as well.

Optical purity can be stated in terms of enantiomeric excess (% ee), which is determined by the formula:

${\%\mspace{14mu}{ee}} = {\left\lbrack \frac{{{major}\mspace{14mu}{enantiomer}\mspace{14mu}({mol})} - {{minor}\mspace{14mu}{enantiomer}\mspace{14mu}({mol})}}{{{major}\mspace{14mu}{enantiomer}\mspace{14mu}({mol})} + {{minor}\mspace{14mu}{enantiomer}\mspace{14mu}({mol})}} \right\rbrack \times 100\;{\%.}}$

When a first group is “substituted with one or more” second groups, one or more hydrogen atoms of the first group is replaced with a corresponding number of second groups.

4.5 Methods for Making Compounds of Formula (I)

The Compounds of Formula (I) can be made using conventional organic synthesis or by the illustrative methods shown in the schemes below.

4.5.1 Methods for Making Compounds of Formula (I) Using the Negishi Coupling Approach

The Compounds of Formula (I) where X is O, R₂₂ is H, and either one of L₁ and L₂ is N or L₁ and L₂ are each C(H) can be obtained by the illustrative method shown below in Schemes 1 and 2a-2d, below.

4.5.1.1 Amide Formation

The production of an amide compound of formula 2 from a carboxylic acid compound of formula 1 is shown in Scheme 1, where L₁, L₂, Ar₂, R₃, and m are defined above and Y is a halogen, such as Cl or Br. Compounds of Formula (1) and the amines of formula Ar₂—NH₂ are commercially available or can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art.

To a solution of 1 equivalent of the compound of formula 1 in DMF (0.22 M) is added 1 equivalent of amine Ar₂—NH₂, and the resulting solution is allowed to stir for about 5 min at a temperature of about 25° C. To the solution is then added 1 to 2 equivalents of HOBT and 1 equivalent of EDCI, and the resulting mixture is allowed to stir for from about 2 h to about 6 h at a temperature of about 25° C. Typically, a solid forms during stirring and the reaction mixture is filtered to remove the resultant solid compound of formula 2. If a solid does not form the reaction mixture is diluted with 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide and extracted between 2 and 3 times with ethyl acetate, the organic layers are combined, dried (with Na₂SO₄), and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to provide a residue. The residue is then washed with methanol and dried under reduced pressure to provide a compound of formula 2.

4.5.1.2 Negishi Coupling

Production of Compounds of Formula (I) can be carried out through Negishi coupling of a compound of formula 2 with an alkylzinc halide in the presence of a palladium catalyst. Four examples of such Negishi couplings are shown in Schemes 2a-2d, which result in the formation of compounds 4a-4d, all falling within the scope of Compounds of Formula (I). In Schemes 2a-2d, L₁, L₂, Ar₂, R₁, R₂, R₃, m, n, and Y are as defined above.

The compound of formula 2 is suspended in THF (0.04 moles/liter) under an argon atmosphere and about 3 equivalent of zinc bromide 3a-3d and about 0.05 to about 0.1 equivalents of Pd(PPh₃)₄ are added to the suspension. The suspension is allowed to stir for about 2 hours at a temperature of from about 70° C. to about 100° C. The solvent is then removed under reduced pressure to provide a solid, that, if desired, is purified using a silica gel column eluted with an ethyl acetate/hexane gradient, to provide the compounds of formulas 4a-4d. In the exemplary but non-limiting reactions shown in Schemes 2a-2d, the enantiomeric excess (ee) of the Compound of Formula (I) is at least about 60%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a Compound of Formula (I) having a % ee of at least about 70%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a Compound of Formula (I) having a % ee of at least about 80%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a Compound of Formula (I) having a % ee of at least about 90%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a Compound of Formula (I) having a % ee of at least about 93%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a Compound of Formula (I) having a % ee of at least about 94%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces Compound of Formula (I) having a % ee of at least about 95%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a Compound of Formula (I) having a % ee of greater than 95% (e.g., 95.1% to 99.9%).

If the compound of formula 2 is substituted with a hydroxyl or amino group, the hydroxyl or amino group is protected using a suitable protecting group before being reacted with bromide 3a-3d (shown in Schemes 2a-2d) or the counterpart chloride (not illustrated). Similarly, if R₂ contains a hydroxyl or amino group, the hydroxyl or amino group is protected before forming the zinc bromide reagent. Suitable protecting groups for such a hydroxyl group(s) include, but are not limited to, methyl ether, methoxymethyl ether, methoxythiomethyl ether, 2-methoxyethoxymethyl ether, bis(2-chloroethoxy)ethyl ether, tetrahydropyranyl ether, tetrahydrothiopyranyl ether, 4-methoxytetrahydropyranyl ether, methoxytetrahydrothiopyranyl ether, tetrahydrofuranyl ether, tetrahydrothiofuranyl ether, 1-ethoxyethyl ether, 1-methyl-1-methoxyethyl ether, 2-(phenylselenyl ether), tert-butyl ether, allyl ether, benzyl ether, o-nitrobenzyl ether, triphenylmethyl ether, o-napthyldiphenylmethyl ether, p-methoxydiphenylmethyl ether, 9-(9-phenyl-10-oxo)anthryl ether (tritylone), trimethylsilyl ether, iso-propyldimethylsilyl ether, tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether, tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ether, tribenzylsilyl ether, tri-iso-propylsilyl ether, formate ester, acetate ester, trichloroacetate ester, phenoxyacetate ester, iso-butyrate ester, pivaloate ester, adamantoate ester, benzoate ester, 2,4,6-trimethyl (mesitoate) ester, methyl carbonate, 2,2,2-trichlorocarbonate, allyl carbonate, p-nitrophenyl carbonate, benzyl carbonate, p-nitrobenzyl carbonate, S-benzylthiocarbonate, N-phenylcarbamate, nitrate ester, and 2,4-dinitrophenylsulfenate ester (See, e.g., Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, pp. 10-86, Wiley-Interscience, New York (1981)). Suitable protecting groups for such an amino group(s) include, but are not limited to, 1,1-dimethyl-2,2,2-trichloroethyl carbamate, 1-methyl-1-(4-biphenylyl)ethyl carbamate, 2-trim ethylsilylethyl carbamate, and tert-butyl carbamate (Greene et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3^(rd) Ed., pp. 494-653, Wiley-Interscience, New York (1999)).

Compounds of Formula 3a-3d can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art (See, Smith et al., March's Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reaction Mechanisms and Structure, 5^(th) Ed., pp. 804-807, Wiley-Interscience, New York (2001); Fillon et al., “Electrosynthesis of functionalized organodizinc compounds from aromatic dihalides via a cobalt catalysis in acetonitrile/pyridine as solvent,” Tet. Lett. 42:3843-3846 (2001); Amadji et al., “Chirons in the 1,3-dioxane series: Stereospecific cross-coupling reactions and chirality transfer,” Tetrahedron: Assymetry 9:1657-1660 (1998); and Billotte, “Synthesis of C-Substituted Cyclic Amines Using Azacycloalkyl Organozinc Reagents,” Synlett. pp. 379-380 (April 1998)).

4.5.2 Methods for Making Compounds of Formula (I) Using the Suzuki Coupling Approach

The Compounds of Formula (I) where X is O, one R₂ group is Q, Q comprises a diol, and each of L₁ and L₂ is C(H) can be obtained by the illustrative methods shown below in Schemes 3-9. While Schemes 3-9 illustrate the conversion when W is in the 2-position of the pyridyl ring of compounds of formula 7a-7c and Q is in the 5-position, these transformations can be carried out with W and/or Q in other ring positions as well. Moreover, the same technique can be used when Ar₁ is, e.g., a pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, or pyridazinyl ring.

4.5.2.1 Methods for Installing Allyl Groups on Ar₁

The conversion of a compound of formula 5 to include a vinyl group via a Grignard reaction is shown in Scheme 3, where Z₂, Z₃, R₁, R₂, and n are as defined above, Y is a halogen such as Br or I, and W is a leaving group, such as a halogen.

To a solution of a compound of formula 5 in THF, DEE, t-BME, or CME is added 1 to 3 equivalents of iso-propylmagnesium chloride or 1 to 3 equivalent of iso-propylmagnesium chloride lithium chloride complex at a temperature of from −20° C. to 25° C. The resulting reaction mixture is then stirred at a temperature of from −20° C. to 25° C. for from 10 min to 24 hours, preferably from about 30 minutes to about 120 minutes. Next, 0.1 to 1 equivalents of copper iodide and 1 to 3 equivalents of allyl bromide compound 6 (shown in Scheme 3) or the counterpart allyl chloride compound (not illustrated) are added to the mixture at a temperature of from −20° C. to 25° C. The resulting reaction mixture is then stirred at a temperature of from −20° C. to 25° C. for about 10 minutes to about 24 hours, preferably from about 30 min to about 120 minutes. Then, the reaction mixture is quenched with an aqueous acidic solution and extracted with ethyl acetate or diethyl ether. The resulting organic layer is washed with brine, dried over, e.g., anhydrous sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting product can be chromatographed with a silica gel column to provide a compound of formula 7.

4.5.2.2 Methods for Preparing Diols

Compounds such as compound 7 can undergo asymmetric hydroxylation to yield enantioenriched diols. Exemplified in Schemes 4a and 4b is the allyl group of compound 7′, an exemplary compound of formula 7 in which Z₂ and one terminal Z₃ group are each hydrogen, undergoing an asymmetric dihydroxylation where W is a leaving group, such as halogen, and Z₃, R₁, R₂, and n are as defined above for Compounds of Formula (I).

As demonstrated in Schemes 4a and 4b, the stereochemistry (R or S) of the resulting diol is dependent upon the chirality of the ligand used in the AD mix as described in Sharpless et al., J. Org. Chem. 57:2768-2771 (1992) and Schemes 1.14 and 1.15 of U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2009/0170868 A1. AD-mix is composed of the following components: potassium osmate (K₂OsO₂(OH)₄), potassium ferricyanide (K₃Fe(CN)₆), potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃), and the chiral ligands (DHQ)₂PHAL or (DHQD)₂PHAL, as shown in Scheme 5. In one embodiment, the reaction produces a chiral diol having an enantiomeric excess (ee) of at least about 60%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a chiral diol having a % ee of at least about 70%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a chiral diol having a % ee of at least about 80%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a chiral diol having a % ee of at least about 90%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a chiral diol having a % ee of at least about 93%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a chiral diol having a % ee of at least about 94%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a chiral diol having a % ee of at least about 95%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a chiral diol having a % ee of greater than 95% (e.g., 95.1% to 99.9%).

To carry out the asymmetric hydroxylation reaction, to a solution of a compound of formula T in a mixed solvent of water and t-butanol or isopropanol is added AD-mix β (about 0.6 g to 2 g per mmol of 7′) at a temperature of from 0° C. to 25° C. The resulting reaction mixture is stirred at a temperature from 0° C. to 25° C. for about 1 hour to about 48 hours. The mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate and saturated Na₂S₂O₅. The organic layer is washed with water and brine, dried, e.g., over anhydrous sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting product can be chromatographed with a silica gel column or recrystallized to provide a compound of formula 8a (Scheme 4a). The other enantiomer, compound of formula 8b, can be synthesized by the reaction of a compound of formula 7′ with AD-mix α (Scheme 4b).

The racemic diol, 8c, can be synthesized by methods known in the art, such as using osmium tetroxide (OsO₄) and N-methyl morpholine N-oxide (NMO) in an aqueous acetone solution, as shown in Scheme 6.

4.5.2.3 Protection of Hydroxyl Groups of Diols

The hydroxyl groups on compounds of formulae 8a, 8b, or 8c can be protected by adding 2,2-dimethoxy propane in the presence of para-toluene sulfonic acid. Addition of a hydroxyl protecting group to a compound of formula 8a to provide a compound of formula 9 is shown in Scheme 7, where R₁, R₂, Z₃, W, and n are as defined above.

To a suspension of 1 equivalent of the compound of formula 8a in 2,2-dimethoxy propane at 0° C. is added about 0.1 equivalent of PSTA. The mixture is stirred at a temperature of about 25° C. for approximately 16 hours to provide a compound of formula 9.

4.5.2.4 Suzuki Coupling

Coupling of two aromatic moieties can be accomplished through a Suzuki Coupling reaction, as shown in Scheme 8, where R₁, R₂, R₃, Z₃, W, and n are as defined above.

To a solution of 1 equivalent of a compound of formula 9 and 1 to 1.5 equivalents of a compound of formula 10 in an organic solvent such as ethanol, DME, 1,4-dioxane, toluene and THF is added 2-5 equivalents of base such as sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate and approximately 0.05-0.15 equivalents of palladium catalyst such as palladium acetate, bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene palladium chloride, tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0), or bis(triphenylphophine)palladium dichloride. The reaction mixture is heated, preferably from about 60° C. to the reflux temperature of the organic solvent, for approximately 1 to 8 hours, cooled to a temperature of about 25° C., diluted with water, and cooled further to 0° C. Then the reaction mixture is quenched with an aqueous acidic solution and extracted with ethyl acetate or diethyl ether. The resulting organic layer is washed with brine, dried, e.g., over anhydrous sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting product can be chromatographed with a silica gel column or recrystallized to provide a compound of formula 11.

4.5.2.5 Amide Formation and Deprotection

A Compound of Formula (I) can be produced via amide formation followed by removal of the protecting group as shown in Scheme 9, where Ar₂, R₁, R₂, R₃, R₂₂, Z₃, W, and n are as defined above.

To a suspension of 1 equivalent of the compound of formula 11 in an organic solvent or a mixture of organic solvents is added 1-3 equivalents of oxalyl chloride dropwise. After stirring for approximately 1 to 2 hours, 1 to 2 equivalents of amine 12 and 2-5 equivalents of a base such as pyridine or triethylamine are added to the organic solvent and the reaction mixture is stirred for between 10 and 24 hours at a temperature of about 25° C. Following basic workup and chromatographic separation, a compound of formula 13 is produced. The compound of formula 13 is than reacted with excess HCl in dioxane to provide a Compound of Formula (I).

In the exemplary but non-limiting reaction shown in Scheme 9, the enantiomeric excess (ee) of the Compound of Formula (I) is at least about 60%.

In another embodiment, the reaction produces a Compound of Formula (I) having a % ee of at least about 94%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces Compound of Formula (I) having a % ee of at least about 95%. In another embodiment, the reaction produces a Compound of Formula (I) having a % ee of greater than 95% (e.g., 95.1% to 99.9%).

4.5.3 Methods for Preparing Amino Alcohols

Compounds of Formula (I) where X is O, one R₂ group is Q, Q comprises a amino alcohol (e.g., J is NH₂ and Z₁ is OH) and each of L₁ and L₂ is C(H) can be obtained by methods described below. While Schemes 10a and 10b illustrate the conversion when W is in the 2-position of the pyridyl ring of compounds of formula 7′ and Q is in the 5-position, these transformations can be carried out with W and/or Q in other ring positions as well. Moreover, the same technique can be used when Ar₁ is, e.g., a pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, or pyridazinyl ring.

Exemplified in Schemes 10a and 10b is the allyl group of compound 7′, an exemplary compound of formula 7 in which Z₂ and one terminal Z₃ group are each hydrogen, undergoing conversion to an aminoalcohol, where W is a leaving group, such as halogen, and Z₃, R₁, R₂, and n are as defined above for Compounds of Formula (I).

In connection with Scheme 10a, to a solution of a compound of formula 7′ in a solvent, such as n-propanol, isopropanol, or the like, is added 0.01 to 0.1 equivalents of potassium osmate dihydrate and a prepared solution of 1 to 5 equivalents of sodium N-chloro tert-butyl carbamate in a mixed solvent of n-propanol, isopropanol, or the like and water. Sodium N-chloro tert-butyl carbamate can be prepared from tert-butyl carbamate, sodium hydroxide, and tert-butyl hypochlorite by combining the same at a temperature of from −20° C. to 25° C. and stirring at a temperature of from −20° C. to 25° C. for from 5 min to 1 hour. Then at a temperature of from −20° C. to 25° C., 0.01 to 0.1 equivalents of (DHQD)₂PHAL is added to form a reaction mixture that is stirred at a temperature of from −20° C. to 25° C. for 1 hour to 24 hours, preferably from about 1 hour to 6 hours. Thereafter, the reaction mixture is quenched with an aqueous NaHSO₃ solution and extracted with ethyl acetate or diethyl ether. The resulting organic layer is separated, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting product can be chromatographed with a silica gel column to provide a compound of formula 16a. As shown in Scheme 10b, the other enantiomer can be synthesized by the reaction of a compound of formula 7′ with (DHQ)₂PHAL to provide a compound of formula 16b. As demonstrated in Schemes 10a and 10b, the stereochemistry (R or S) of the resulting aminoalcohol is dependent upon the chirality of the ligand used in the (DHQ)₂PHAL and (DHQD)₂PHAL as described in Sharpless et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 120:1207-1217 (1998).

Compound of Formula (I) where Z₁ is OH and J is NH₂ can be obtained from compound of formula 16a or the compound of formula 16b by the procedures described above in Schemes 7-9.

Compounds of Formula (I) where Z₁ is NH₂ and J is OH can be obtained in a similar manner.

Compounds of Formula (I) obtained by the above procedures, e.g., where Z₁ is OH and J is NH₂, can be converted to Compounds of Formula (I) where Z₁ is OR₂₀, where R₂₀ is not H, and J is NH₂; Z₁ is OH and J is NH(R₂₀), where R₂₀ is not H; Z₁ is OH and J is N(R₂₀)₂, where each R₂₀ is not H; Z₁ is OR₂₀ and J is NH(R₂₀), where each R₂₀ is not H; or Z₁ is OR₂₀ and J is N(R₂₀)₂, where each R₂₀ is not H, using ordinary methods known to one skilled in the art. Compounds of Formula (I) obtained by the above procedures, e.g., where Z₁ is NH₂ and J is OH, can be converted to Compounds of Formula (I) where Z₁ is NH₂ and J is OR₂₀, where R₂₀ is not H; Z₁ is NH(R₂₀), where R₂₀ is not H, and J is OH; Z₁ is N(R₂₀)₂, where each R₂₀ is not H, and J is OH; Z₁ is NH(R₂₀) and J is OR₂₀, where each R₂₀ is not H; or Z₁ is N(R₂₀)₂ and J is OR₂₀, where each R₂₀ is not H, using ordinary methods known to one skilled in the art.

4.5.4 Methods for Making Compounds of Formula (I) Where X is S

The Compounds of Formula (I) where X is S can be obtained by reacting a Compound of Formula (I) where X is O, prepared as described above, with Lawesson's reagent at a temperature of about 100° C. (See, e.g., March, Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure, 4^(th) Ed., pp. 891-892, Wiley-Interscience, New York (1992)).

Compounds of Formula (I) where X is S can be obtained by a method analogous to that described above in Scheme 9 to provide Compounds of Formula (I), where X is O, except that a compound of formula 17, shown below

where R₁, R₂, R₃, Z₃, m, and n are as defined above, is used in place of a compound of formula 11. The compounds of formula 17 can be obtained by a method analogous to that described above in Scheme 8 except that a thioic O-acid compound is used in place of the carboxylic acid compound of formula 10.

While these schemes illustrate the conversion when Q is in the 5-position of the pyridyl ring of, e.g., the compound of formula 17, these transformations can be carried out with Q in other ring positions as well. Moreover, the same technique can be used when Ar₁ is, e.g., a pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, or pyridazinyl ring.

4.5.5 Methods for Making Compounds of Formula (I) Where X is N—OH

Compounds of Formula (I) where X is N—OH can be obtained as shown below in Scheme 11:

where Ar₂, R₃, and m are as defined above and G is either Y, as described in Scheme 1 above, or the group

as described in Scheme 8 above.

A solution of a compound of formula 19 (about 0.6 mmol), obtained from the compound of formula 18a or 18b via the first step of Scheme 9 as described above, in DCM is reacted with iodomethane (about 0.9 mmol) in about 3 mL of THF with stirring at about 25° C. for about 12 h. Excess iodomethane is removed from the reaction mixture under reduced pressure. A solution of triethylamine (about 1.74 mmol) in about 2.5 mL of ethyl acetate is then added to the mixture and the mixture is allowed to stir for about 2 h. The mixture is then concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the compound of formula 20 that can then be further treated if desired. In one embodiment, the compound of formula 20 is further treated using column chromatography or recrystallization.

The compound of formula 20 (about 0.3 mmol) is reacted with hydroxylamine (50 weight percent in water, about 5.8 mmol) in about 1.5 mL of ethanol with stirring at a temperature of about 80° C. for about 2 h. The mixture is then concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a compound of formula 21. In one embodiment, the compound of formula 21 is further treated using column chromatography or recrystallized. Thereafter, Compounds of Formula (I) can be obtained from the compound of formula 21 by either the Negishi Coupling approach (see Schemes 2a-2d) or the Suzuki Coupling approach (see Scheme 8), depending upon which G group is present.

Compounds of formula 18a and 18b are commercially available or can be prepared by procedures known in the art, e.g., by using a reagent comprising a thioic O-acid or dithioic acid, respectively.

4.5.6 Methods for Making Compounds of Formula (I) Where X is N—OR₁₀

The Compounds of Formula (I) where X is N—OR₁₀ can be obtained as shown below in Scheme 12:

where Ar₂, R₃, R₁₀, m, and G are as defined above and L is -halo, e.g., —I, —Br, or —Cl.

The compound of formula 22 can be prepared by reacting the compound of formula 21 with L-R₁₀ in the presence of sodium hydride in DMF at about 25° C. In one embodiment, L is —I or —Br. Thereafter, Compounds of Formula (I) can be obtained from the compound of formula 22 by either the Negishi Coupling approach (see Schemes 2a-2d) or the Suzuki Coupling approach (see Scheme 8), depending upon which G group is present.

4.5.7 Methods for Preparing Benzothiazol-2-Amines

An Ar₂—NH(R₂₂) compound of formula 24 can be prepared by the addition of potassium thiocyanate, bromine, and acetic acid to a compound of formula 23 as shown in Scheme 13, where R₈, R₉, and R₂₂ are as defined above.

Compounds of formula 23 are commercially available or can be prepared by procedures known in the art.

Suitable aprotic organic solvents for use in the illustrative methods include, but are not limited to, DCM, DMSO, chloroform, toluene, benzene, acetonitrile, carbon tetrachloride, pentane, hexane, ligroin, and diethyl ether. In one embodiment, the aprotic organic solvent is DCM.

Certain Compounds of Formula (I) can have one or more asymmetric centers and therefore exist in different enantiomeric and diastereomeric forms. A Compound of Formula (I) can be in the form of an optical isomer or a diastereomer. Accordingly, the disclosure encompasses compounds of formula (I) and their uses as described herein in the form of their optical isomers, diastereomers, and mixtures thereof, including a racemic mixture.

In addition, one or more hydrogen, carbon or other atoms of a Compound of Formula (I) can be replaced by an isotope of the hydrogen, carbon or other atoms. Such compounds, which are encompassed by the disclosure, are useful, e.g., as research and diagnostic tools in metabolism pharmacokinetic studies and in binding assays.

4.6 Therapeutic Uses of Compounds of Formula (I)

In accordance with the disclosure, the Compounds of Formula (I) are administered to an animal in need of treatment or prevention of a Condition.

In one embodiment, an effective amount of a Compound of Formula (I) can be used to treat or prevent any condition treatable or preventable by inhibiting TRPV1. Examples of Conditions that are treatable or preventable by inhibiting TRPV1 include, but are not limited to, pain, UI, an ulcer, IBD, and IBS.

The Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can be used to treat or prevent acute or chronic pain. Examples of pain that can be treated or prevented using a Compound of Formula (I) include, but are not limited to, cancer pain, neuropathic pain, labor pain, myocardial infarction pain, pancreatic pain, colic pain, post-operative pain, headache pain, muscle pain, arthritic pain, and pain associated with a periodontal disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis.

The Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can also be used for treating or preventing pain associated with inflammation or with an inflammatory disease in an animal. Such pain can arise where there is an inflammation of the body tissue which can be a local inflammatory response and/or a systemic inflammation. For example, the Compounds of Formula (I) can be used to treat or prevent pain associated with inflammatory diseases including, but not limited to: organ transplant rejection; reoxygenation injury resulting from organ transplantation (see Grupp et al., “Protection against Hypoxia-reoxygenation in the Absence of Poly (ADP-ribose) Synthetase in Isolated Working Hearts,” J. Mol. Cell Cardiol. 31:297-303 (1999)) including, but not limited to, transplantation of the heart, lung, liver, or kidney; chronic inflammatory diseases of the joints, including arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and bone diseases associated with increased bone resorption; inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ileitis, ulcerative colitis, Barrett's syndrome, and Crohn's disease; inflammatory lung diseases, such as asthma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and chronic obstructive airway disease; inflammatory diseases of the eye, including corneal dystrophy, trachoma, onchocerciasis, uveitis, sympathetic ophthalmitis and endophthalmitis; chronic inflammatory diseases of the gum, including gingivitis and periodontitis; tuberculosis; leprosy; inflammatory diseases of the kidney, including uremic complications, glomerulonephritis and nephrosis; inflammatory diseases of the skin, including sclerodermatitis, psoriasis and eczema; inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, including chronic demyelinating diseases of the nervous system, multiple sclerosis, AIDS-related neurodegeneration and Alzheimer s disease, infectious meningitis, encephalomyelitis, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and viral or autoimmune encephalitis; autoimmune diseases, including Type I and Type II diabetes mellitus; diabetic complications, including, but not limited to, diabetic cataract, glaucoma, retinopathy, nephropathy (such as microalbuminuria and progressive diabetic nephropathy), polyneuropathy, mononeuropathies, autonomic neuropathy, gangrene of the feet, atherosclerotic coronary arterial disease, peripheral arterial disease, nonketotic hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar coma, foot ulcers, joint problems, and a skin or mucous membrane complication (such as an infection, a shin spot, a candidal infection or necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum); immune-complex vasculitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); inflammatory diseases of the heart, such as cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease hypercholesterolemia, and atherosclerosis; as well as various other diseases that can have significant inflammatory components, including preeclampsia, chronic liver failure, brain and spinal cord trauma, and cancer. The Compounds of Formula (I) can also be used for inhibiting, treating, or preventing pain associated with inflammatory disease that can, for example, be a systemic inflammation of the body, exemplified by gram-positive or gram negative shock, hemorrhagic or anaphylactic shock, or shock induced by cancer chemotherapy in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines, e.g., shock associated with pro-inflammatory cytokines. Such shock can be induced, e.g., by a chemotherapeutic agent that is adminstered as a treatment for cancer.

The Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can also be used to treat or prevent pain associated with nerve injury (i.e., neuropathic pain). Chronic neuropathic pain is a heterogenous disease state with an unclear etiology. In chronic neuropathic pain, the pain can be mediated by multiple mechanisms. This type of pain generally arises from injury to the peripheral or central nervous tissue. The syndromes include pain associated with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, post-herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, phantom pain, causalgia, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy and lower back pain. The chronic pain is different from acute pain in that chronic neuropathic pain patients suffer the abnormal pain sensations that can be described as spontaneous pain, continuous superficial burning and/or deep aching pain. The pain can be evoked by heat-, cold-, and mechano-hyperalgesia, or by heat-, cold-, or mechano-allodynia.

Chronic neuropathic pain can be caused by injury or infection of peripheral sensory nerves. It includes, but is not limited to, pain from peripheral nerve trauma, herpes virus infection, diabetes mellitus, causalgia, plexus avulsion, neuroma, limb amputation, and vasculitis. Neuropathic pain can also be caused by nerve damage from chronic alcoholism, human immunodeficiency virus infection, hypothyroidism, uremia, or vitamin deficiencies. Stroke (spinal or brain) and spinal cord injury can also induce neuropathic pain. Cancer-related neuropathic pain results from tumor growth compression of adjacent nerves, brain, or spinal cord. In addition, cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy, can cause nerve injury. Neuropathic pain includes but is not limited to pain caused by nerve injury such as, for example, the pain from which diabetics suffer.

The Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can be used to treat or prevent a migraine including, but not limited to, migraine without aura (“common migraine”), migraine with aura (“classic migraine”), migraine without headache, basilar migraine, familial hemiplegic migraine, migrainous infarction, and migraine with prolonged aura.

The Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can be used to treat or prevent UI. Examples of UI treatable or preventable using the Compounds of Formula (I) include, but are not limited to, urge incontinence, stress incontinence, overflow incontinence, neurogenic incontinence, and total incontinence.

The Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can be used to treat or prevent an ulcer. Examples of ulcers treatable or preventable using the Compounds of Formula (I) include, but are not limited to, a duodenal ulcer, a gastric ulcer, a marginal ulcer, an esophageal ulcer, or a stress ulcer.

The Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can be used to treat or prevent IBD, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

The Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can be used to treat or prevent IBS. Examples of IBS treatable or preventable using the Compounds of Formula (I) include, but are not limited to, spastic-colon-type IBS and constipation-predominant IBS.

Applicants believe that the Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, are antagonists for TRPV1. The disclosure also relates to methods for inhibiting TRPV1 function in a cell comprising contacting a cell capable of expressing TRPV1 with an effective amount of a Compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof. This method can be used in vitro, for example, as an assay to select cells that express TRPV1 and, accordingly, are useful as part of an assay to select compounds useful for treating or preventing pain, UI, an ulcer, IBD, or IBS. The method is also useful for inhibiting TRPV1 function in a cell in vivo, in an animal, a human in one embodiment, by contacting a cell, in an animal, with an effective amount of a Compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof. In one embodiment, the method is useful for treating or preventing pain in an animal. In another embodiment, the method is useful for treating or preventing UI in an animal. In another embodiment, the method is useful for treating or preventing an ulcer in an animal. In another embodiment, the method is useful for treating or preventing IBD in an animal.

4.7 Therapeutic/Prophylactic Administration and Compositions of the Disclosure

Due to their activity, Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, are advantageously useful in veterinary and human medicine. As described above, Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, are useful for treating or preventing a Condition.

When administered to an animal, Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, are, in one embodiment, administered as a component of a composition that comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. The compositions, which comprise a Compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can be administered orally. Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can also be administered by any other convenient route, for example, by infusion or bolus injection, by absorption through epithelial or mucocutaneous linings (e.g., oral, rectal, and intestinal mucosa, etc.) and can be administered together with another therapeutically active agent. Administration can be systemic or local. Various delivery systems are known, e.g., encapsulation in liposomes, microparticles, microcapsules, capsules, etc., and can be used to administer the Compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof.

Methods of administration include, but are not limited to, intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal, epidural, oral, sublingual, intracerebral, intravaginal, transdermal, rectal, by inhalation, or topical, particularly to the ears, nose, eyes, or skin. The mode of administration is left to the discretion of the practitioner. In most instances, administration will result in the release of Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, into the bloodstream.

In specific embodiments, it can be desirable to administer the Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, locally. This can be achieved, for example, and not by way of limitation, by local infusion during surgery, topical application, e.g., in conjunction with a wound dressing after surgery, by injection, by means of a catheter, by means of a suppository or enema, or by means of an implant, said implant being of a porous, non-porous, or gelatinous material, including membranes, such as sialastic membranes, or fibers.

In certain embodiments, it can be desirable to introduce the Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, into the central nervous system or gastrointestinal tract by any suitable route, including intraventricular, intrathecal, and epidural injection, and enema. Intraventricular injection can be facilitated by an intraventricular catheter, for example, attached to a reservoir, such as an Ommaya reservoir.

Pulmonary administration can also be employed, e.g., by use of an inhaler or nebulizer, and formulation with an aerosolizing agent, or via perfusion in a fluorocarbon or synthetic pulmonary surfactant. In certain embodiments, the Compounds of Formula (I) can be formulated as a suppository, with traditional binders and excipients such as triglycerides.

In another embodiment, the Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can be delivered in a vesicle, in particular a liposome (see Langer, “New Methods of Drug Delivery,” Science 249:1527-1533 (1990); Lopez-Berestein, “Treatment of Systemic Fungal Infections with Liposomal-Amphotericin B,” Liposomes in the Therapy of Infectious Disease and Cancer, pp. 317-327 (1989); and Treat et al., “Liposome encapsulated doxorubicin—preliminary results of phase I and phase II trials” Liposomes in the Theraoy of Infectious Disease and Cancer, pp. 353-365 (1989).

In yet another embodiment, the Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can be delivered in a controlled-release system or sustained-release system (see, e.g., Goodson, “Dental Applications,” pp. 115-138 in Medical Applications of Controlled Release, Vol. 2, Applications and Evaluation, Langer and Wise, eds., CRC Press (1984), hereafter “Goodson”). Other controlled- or sustained-release systems discussed in the review by Langer, Science 249:1527-1533 (1990) can be used. In one embodiment, a pump can be used (Langer, Science 249:1527-1533 (1990); Sefton, “Implantable Pumps,” in CRC Crit. Rev. Biomed. Eng. 14(3):201-240 (1987); Buchwald et al., “Long-term, Continuous Intravenous Heparin Administration by an Implantable Infusion Pump in Ambulatory Patients with Recurrent Venous Thrombosis,” Surgery 88:507-516 (1980); and Saudek et al., “A Preliminary Trial of the Programmable Implantable Medication System for Insulin Delivery,” New Engl. J Med. 321:574-579 (1989)). In another embodiment, polymeric materials can be used (see Goodson; Smolen et al., “Drug Product Design and Performance,” Controlled Drug Bioavailability Vol. 1, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1984); Langer et al., “Chemical and Physical Structure of Polymers as Carriers for Controlled Release of Bioactive Agents: A Review,” J. Macromol. Sci. Rev. Macromol. Chem. C23(1):61-126 (1983); Levy et al., “Inhibition of Calcification of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves by Local Controlled-Release Diphosphonate,” Science 228:190-192 (1985); During et al., “Controlled Release of Dopamine from a Polymeric Brain Implant: In Vivo Characterization,” Ann. Neurol. 25:351-356 (1989); and Howard et al., “Intracerebral drug delivery in rats with lesion-induced memory deficits,” J. Neurosurg. 71:105 (1989)). In yet another embodiment, a controlled- or sustained-release system can be placed in proximity of a target of the Compounds of Formula (I), e.g., the spinal column, brain, or gastrointestinal tract, thus requiring only a fraction of the systemic dose.

The compositions can optionally comprise a suitable amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient so as to provide the form for proper administration to the animal. Such a pharmaceutical excipient can be a diluent, suspending agent, solubilizer, binder, disintegrant, preservative, coloring agent, lubricant, and the like. The pharmaceutical excipient can be a liquid, such as water or an oil, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable, or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, and the like. The pharmaceutical excipient can be saline, gum acacia, gelatin, starch paste, talc, keratin, colloidal silica, urea, and the like. In addition, auxiliary, stabilizing, thickening, lubricating, and coloring agents can be used. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is sterile when administered to an animal. Water is a particularly useful excipient when a Compound of Formula (I) is administered intravenously. Saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions can also be employed as liquid excipients, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients also include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene glycol, water, ethanol, and the like. The compositions, if desired, can also contain minor amounts of wetting or emulsifying agents, or pH buffering agents. Specific examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and excipients that can be used to formulate oral dosage forms are described in the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, (Amer. Pharmaceutical Ass'n, Washington, D C, 1986), incorporated herein by reference.

The compositions can take the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsion, tablets, pills, pellets, multiparticulates, capsules, capsules containing liquids, powders, multiparticulates, sustained-release formulations, suppositories, emulsions, aerosols, sprays, suspensions, or any other form suitable for use. In one embodiment, the composition is in the form of a capsule (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,698,155). Other examples of suitable pharmaceutical excipients are described by Radebough et al., “Preformulation,” pp. 1447-1676 in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences Vol. 2 (Gennaro, ed., 19^(th) ed., Mack Publishing, Easton, Pa., 1995), incorporated herein by reference.

In one embodiment, the Compounds of Formula (I) are formulated in accordance with routine procedures as a composition adapted for oral administration to human beings. A Compound of Formula (I) to be orally delivered can be in the form of tablets, capsules, gelcaps, caplets, lozenges, aqueous or oily solutions, suspensions, granules, powders, emulsions, syrups, or elixirs, for example. When a Compound of Formula (I) is incorporated into oral tablets, such tablets can be compressed, tablet triturates, enteric-coated, sugar-coated, film-coated, multiply compressed or multiply layered. Techniques and compositions for making solid oral dosage forms are described in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets (Lieberman et al., eds., 2^(nd) ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1989 & 1990). Techniques and compositions for making tablets (compressed and molded), capsules (hard and soft gelatin) and pills are also described by King, “Tablets, Capsules, and Pills,” pp. 1553-1593 in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Osol, ed., 16^(th) ed., Mack Publishing, Easton, Pa., 1980).

Liquid oral dosage forms include aqueous and nonaqueous solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and solutions and/or suspensions reconstituted from non-effervescent granules, optionally containing one or more suitable solvents, preservatives, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, diluents, sweeteners, coloring agents, flavoring agents, and the like. Techniques and composition for making liquid oral dosage forms are described in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Disperse Systems (Lieberman et al., eds., 2^(nd) ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1996 & 1998).

When a Compound of Formula (I) is to be injected parenterally, it can be, e.g., in the form of an isotonic sterile solution. Alternatively, when a Compound of Formula (I) is to be inhaled, it can be formulated into a dry aerosol or can be formulated into an aqueous or partially aqueous solution.

An orally administered Compound of Formula (I) can contain one or more agents, for example, sweetening agents such as fructose, aspartame or saccharin; flavoring agents such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry; coloring agents; and preserving agents, to provide a pharmaceutically palatable preparation. Moreover, where in tablet or pill form, the compositions can be coated to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract thereby providing a sustained action over an extended period of time. Selectively permeable membranes surrounding an osmotically active driving compound are also suitable for orally administered compositions. In these latter platforms, fluid from the environment surrounding the capsule is imbibed by the driving compound, which swells to displace the agent or agent composition through an aperture. These delivery platforms can provide an essentially zero order delivery profile as opposed to the spiked profiles of immediate release formulations. A time-delay material such as glycerol monostearate or glycerol stearate can also be used. Oral compositions can include standard excipients such as mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, cellulose, and magnesium carbonate. In one embodiment, the excipients are of pharmaceutical grade.

In another embodiment, the Compounds of Formula (I) can be formulated for intravenous administration. In one embodiment, compositions for intravenous administration comprise sterile isotonic aqueous buffer. Where necessary, the compositions can also include a solubilizing agent. A Compound of Formula (I) for intravenous administration can optionally include a local anesthetic such as benzocaine or prilocaine to lessen pain at the site of the injection. Generally, the ingredients are supplied either separately or mixed together in unit dosage form, for example, as a dry lyophilized powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container such as an ampule or sachette indicating the quantity of active agent. Where a Compound of Formula (I) is to be administered by infusion, it can be dispensed, for example, with an infusion bottle containing sterile pharmaceutical grade water or saline. Where a Compound of Formula (I) is administered by injection, an ampule of sterile water for injection or saline can be provided so that the ingredients can be mixed prior to administration.

The Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can be administered by controlled-release or sustained-release means or by delivery devices that are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Examples include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,845,770; 3,916,899; 3,536,809; 3,598,123; 4,008,719; 5,674,533; 5,059,595; 5,591,767; 5,120,548; 5,073,543; 5,639,476; 5,354,556; and 5,733,566, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Such dosage forms can be used to provide controlled- or sustained-release of one or more active ingredients using, for example, hydropropylmethyl cellulose, ethylcellulose, other polymer matrices, gels, permeable membranes, osmotic systems, multilayer coatings, microparticles, liposomes, microspheres, or a combination thereof to provide the desired release profile in varying proportions. Suitable controlled- or sustained-release formulations known to those of ordinary skill in the art, including those described herein, can be readily selected for use with the active ingredients of the disclosure. The disclosure thus encompasses single unit dosage forms suitable for oral administration such as, but not limited to, tablets, capsules, gelcaps, and caplets that are adapted for controlled- or sustained-release.

Controlled- or sustained-release pharmaceutical compositions can have a common goal of improving drug therapy over that achieved by their non-controlled or non-sustained release counterparts. In one embodiment, a controlled- or sustained-release composition comprises a minimal amount of a Compound of Formula (I) to cure or control the condition in a minimum amount of time. Advantages of controlled- or sustained-release compositions include extended activity of the drug, reduced dosage frequency, and increased patient compliance. In addition, controlled- or sustained-release compositions can favorably affect the time of onset of action or other characteristics, such as blood levels of the Compound of Formula (I), and can thus reduce the occurrence of adverse side effects.

Controlled- or sustained-release compositions can be designed to immediately release an amount of a Compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, that promptly produces the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect, and gradually and continually release other amounts of the Compound of Formula (I) to maintain this level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. To maintain a constant level of the Compound of Formula (I) in the body, the Compound of Formula (I) can be released from the dosage form at a rate that will replace the amount of Compound of Formula (I) being metabolized and excreted from the body. Controlled- or sustained-release of an active ingredient can be stimulated by various conditions, including but not limited to, changes in pH, changes in temperature, concentration or availability of enzymes, concentration or availability of water, or other physiological conditions or compounds.

The amount of the Compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, that is effective in the treatment or prevention of a Condition can be determined by standard clinical techniques. In addition, in vitro or in vivo assays can optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed will also depend on the route of administration, and the seriousness of the Condition and can be decided according to the judgment of a practitioner and/or each animal's circumstances. Suitable effective dosage amounts, however, will, in one embodiment, range from about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight to about 2500 mg/kg of body weight, although they are, in another embodiment, about 100 mg/kg of body weight or less. In one embodiment, the effective dosage amount ranges from about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight to about 100 mg/kg of body weight of a Compound of Formula (I); in another embodiment, about 0.02 mg/kg of body weight to about 50 mg/kg of body weight; and in another embodiment, about 0.025 mg/kg of body weight to about 20 mg/kg of body weight.

In one embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 24 h until the Condition is abated. In another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 12 h until the Condition is abated. In another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 8 h until the Condition is abated. In another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 6 h until the Condition is abated. In another embodiment, an effective dosage amount is administered about every 4 h until the Condition is abated.

The effective dosage amounts described herein refer to total amounts administered; that is, if more than one Compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, is administered, the effective dosage amounts correspond to the total amount administered.

Where a cell capable of expressing TRPV1 is contacted with a Compound of Formula (I) in vitro, the amount effective for inhibiting the TRPV1 receptor function in a cell will range from about 0.01 μg/L to about 5 mg/L; in one embodiment, from about 0.01 μg/L to about 2.5 mg/L; in another embodiment, from about 0.01 μg/L to about 0.5 mg/L; and in another embodiment, from about 0.01 μg/L to about 0.25 mg/L, of a solution or suspension of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. In one embodiment, the volume of solution or suspension comprising the Compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, is from about 0.01 μL to about 1 mL. In another embodiment, the volume of solution or suspension is about 200 μL.

The Compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, can be assayed in vitro or in vivo for the desired therapeutic or prophylactic activity prior to use in humans. Animal model systems can be used to demonstrate safety and efficacy.

The methods for treating or preventing a Condition in an animal in need thereof can further comprise administering to the animal being administered a Compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof (i.e., a first therapeutic agent) a second therapeutic agent. In one embodiment, the second therapeutic agent is administered in an effective amount. In one embodiment, the second therapeutic agent is administered in an effective amount.

The methods for inhibiting TRPV1 function in a cell capable of expressing TRPV1 can further comprise contacting the cell with an effective amount of a second therapeutic agent.

An effective amount of the second therapeutic agent(s) will be known to those skilled the art depending on the agent. However, it is well within the skilled artisan's purview to determine the second therapeutic agent's optimal effective-amount range. A Compound of Formula (I) and the second therapeutic agent combined can act either additively or synergistically to treat the same Condition, or they can act independently of each other such that the Compound of Formula (I) treats or prevents a first Condition and the second therapeutic agent treats or prevents a second disorder, which can be the same as the first Condition or another disorder. In one embodiment of the disclosure, where a second therapeutic agent is administered to an animal for treatment of a Condition (e.g., pain), the minimal effective amount of the Compound of Formula (I) will be less than its minimal effective amount would be where the second therapeutic agent is not administered. In this embodiment, the Compound of Formula (I) and the second therapeutic agent can act synergistically to treat or prevent a Condition. In one embodiment, a Compound of Formula (I) is administered concurrently with a second therapeutic agent as a single composition comprising an effective amount of a Compound of Formula (I) and an effective amount of the second therapeutic agent. Alternatively, a composition comprising an effective amount of a Compound of Formula (I) and a second composition comprising an effective amount of the second therapeutic agent are concurrently administered.

Reverse transcription is conducted on 1.0 μg total RNA using Thermoscript Reverse Transcriptase (commercially available from Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) and oligo dT primers as detailed in its product description. Reverse transcription reactions are incubated at 55° C. for 1 h, heat-inactivated at 85° C. for 5 min, and RNase H-treated at 37° C. for 20 min.

Human TRPV1 cDNA sequence is obtained by comparison of the human genomic sequence, prior to annotation, to the published rat sequence. Intron sequences are removed and flanking exonic sequences are joined to generate the hypothetical human cDNA. Primers flanking the coding region of human TRPV1 are designed as follows:

forward primer (SEQ ID NO: 1) GAAGATCTTCGCTGGTTGCACACTGGGCCACA,  and  reverse primer (SEQ ID NO: 2) GAAGATCTTCGGGGACAGTGACGGTTGGATGT.

Using these primers, PCR of TRPV1 is performed on one tenth of the Reverse transcription reaction mixture using Expand Long Template Polymerase and Expand Buffer 2 in a final volume of 50 μL according to the manufacturer's instructions (Roche Applied Sciences, Indianapolis, Ind.). After denaturation at 94° C. for 2 min PCR amplification is performed for 25 cycles at 94° C. for 15 sec, 58° C. for 30 sec, and 68° C. for 3 min followed by a final incubation at 72° C. for 7 min to complete the amplification. The PCR product of about 2.8 kb is gel-isolated using a 1.0% agarose, Tris-Acetate gel containing 1.6 μg/mL of crystal violet and purified with a S.N.A.P. UV-Free Gel Purification Kit (commercially available from Invitrogen). The TRPV1 PCR product is cloned into the pIND/V5-His-TOPO vector (commercially available from Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions to result in the TRPV1-pIND construct. DNA preparations, restriction enzyme digestions, and preliminary DNA sequencing are performed according to standard protocols. Full-length sequencing confirms the identity of the human TRPV1.

Generation of Inducible Cell Lines:

Unless noted otherwise, cell culture reagents are purchased from Life Technologies of Rockville, Md. HEK293-EcR cells expressing the ecdysone receptor (commercially available from Invitrogen) are cultured in Growth Medium (Dulbecco's Modified Eagles Medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (commercially available from Hyclone, Logan, Utah)), 1× penicillin/streptomycin, 1× glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 400 μg/mL Zeocin (commercially available from Invitrogen)). The TRPV1-pIND constructs are transfected into the HEK293-EcR cell line using Fugene transfection reagent (commercially available from Roche Applied Sciences, Basel, Switzerland). After 48 h, cells are transferred to Selection Medium (Growth Medium containing 300 μg/mL G418 (commercially available from Invitrogen)). Approximately 3 weeks later individual Zeocin/G418 resistant colonies are isolated and expanded. To identify functional clones, multiple colonies are plated into 96-well plates and expression is induced for 48 h using Selection Medium supplemented with 5 μM ponasterone A (“PonA”) (commercially available from Invitrogen). On the day of assay, cells are loaded with Fluo-4 (a calcium-sensitive dye that is commercially available from Molecular Probes, Eugene, Oreg.) and CAP-mediated calcium influx is measured using a Fluorescence Imaging Plate Reader (“FLIPR”) as described below. Functional clones are re-assayed, expanded, and cryopreserved.

pH-Based Assay:

Two days prior to performing this assay, cells are seeded on poly-D-lysine-coated 96-well clear-bottom black plates (commercially available from Becton-Dickinson) at 75,000 cells/well in growth media containing 5 μM PonA (commercially available from Invitrogen) to induce expression of TRPV1. On the day of the assay, the plates are washed with 0.2 mL 1× Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (commercially available from Life Technologies) containing 1.6 mM CaCl₂ and 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4 (“wash buffer”), and loaded using 0.1 mL of wash buffer containing Fluo-4 (3 μM final concentration, commercially available from Molecular Probes). After 1 h, the cells are washed twice with 0.2 mL wash buffer and resuspended in 0.05 mL 1× Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (commercially available from Life Technologies) containing 3.5 mM CaCl₂ and 10 mM Citrate, pH 7.4 (“assay buffer”). Plates are then transferred to a FLIPR for assay. The test compound is diluted in assay buffer, and 50 μL of the resultant solution is added to the cell plates and the solution is monitored for two minutes. The final concentration of the test compound is adjusted to range from about 50 picoM to about 3 μM. Agonist buffer (wash buffer titrated with 1N HCl to provide a solution having a pH of 5.5 when mixed 1:1 with assay buffer) (0.1 mL) is then added to each well, and the plates are incubated for 1 additional minute. Data are collected over the entire time course and analyzed using Excel and Graph Pad Prism to determine the IC₅₀.

Capsaicin-Based Assay:

Two days prior to performing this assay, cells are seeded in poly-D-lysine-coated 96-well clear-bottom black plates (50,000 cells/well) in growth media containing 5 μM PonA (commercially available from Invitrogen) to induce expression of TRPV1. On the day of the assay, the plates are washed with 0.2 mL 1× Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (commercially available from Life Technologies) containing 1 mM CaCl₂ and 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, and cells are loaded using 0.1 mL of wash buffer containing Fluo-4 (3 μM final). After one hour, the cells are washed twice with 0.2 mL of wash buffer and resuspended in 0.1 mL of wash buffer. The plates are transferred to a FLIPR for assay. 50 μL of test compound diluted with assay buffer (1× Hank's Balanced Salt Solution containing 1 mM CaCl₂ and 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) are added to the cell plates and incubated for 2 min. The final concentration of the compound is adjusted to range from about 50 picoM to about 3 μM. Human TRPV1 is activated by the addition of 50 μL of capsaicin (400 nM), and the plates are incubated for an additional 3 min. Data are collected over the entire time course and analyzed using Excel and GraphPad Prism to determine the IC₅₀.

Protocol 2

For Protocol 2, a Chinese Hamster Ovary cell line (CHO) that has been engineered to constitutively express human recombinant TRPV1 was used (TRPV1/CHO cells). The TRPV1/CHO cell line was generated as described below.

Human TRPV1 Cloning:

A cDNA for the human TRPV1 receptor (hTRPV1) was amplified by PCR (KOD-Plus DNA polymerase, ToYoBo, Japan) from a human brain cDNA library (BioChain) using primers designed surrounding the complete hTRPV1 open reading frame (forward 5′-GGATCCAGCAAGGATGAAGAAATGG (SEQ ID NO: 3) and reverse 5′-TGTCTGCGTGACGTCCTCACTTCT (SEQ ID NO: 4)). The resulting PCR products were purified from agarose gels using Gel Band Purification Kit (GE Healthcare Bioscience) and were subcloned into pCR-Blunt vector (Invitrogen). The cloned cDNA was fully sequenced using a fluorescent dye-terminator reagent (BigDye Terminator ver3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit, Applied Biosystems) and ABI Prism 3100 genetic analyzer (Applied Biosystems). The pCR-Blunt vector containing the hTRPV1 cDNA was subjected to restriction digestion with EcoR1. The restriction fragment was subcloned into expression vector pcDNA3.1(−) (Invitrogen) and named pcDNA3.1(−)-hVR1 plasmid. The sequence of the cDNA encoding TRPV1 is available at GenBank accession number AJ277028.

Generation of the TRPV1/CHO Cell Line:

CHO-K1 cells were maintained in growth medium consisting of α-MEM, 10% FBS (Hyclone), and 100 IU/mL of penicillin—100 μg/mL of streptomycin mixed solution (Nacalai Tesque, Japan) at 37° C. in an environment of humidified 95% air and 5% CO₂. The cells were transfected with the pcDNA3.1(−)-hVR1 plasmid using FuGENE6 (Roche) according to the manufacturer's protocol. 24 hr after transfection, neomycin-resistant cells were selected using 1 mg/mL G418 (Nacalai Tesque). After 2 weeks, individual colonies were picked, expanded, and screened for the expression of hTRPV1 in the capsaicin-induced Ca²⁺ influx assay (see below) with a FLIPR (Molecular Devices). A clone with the largest Ca²⁺ response to capsaicin was selected and re-cloned by the same procedure. The cells expressing hTRPV1 were cultured in the growth medium supplemented with 1 mg/mL G418. Approximately 1 month later, stable expression of functional TRPV1 receptors in the selected cell line was confirmed by validating Ca²⁺ responses with or without capsazepine (Sigma, at 1 nM-10 μM) in capsaicin assay.

Capsaicin-Induced Ca²⁺ Influx Assay for Cell Selection:

The following assay was performed to identify cells with hTRPV1 expression. CHO-K1 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1(−)-hVR1 plasmid were seeded in 384-well black-wall clear-bottom plates (Corning) and cultivated in growth medium (see above) for 1 day. On the day of the experiment, culture medium was exchanged to assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 0.9 mM MgCl₂, 5.0 mM CaCl₂, 5.6 mM D-glucose, 2.5 mM probenecid, pH 7.4) containing 4 μM Fluo-3-AM (Dojin, Japan). After the incubation at 37° C. for 1 hr, each well was washed 3 times with assay buffer using an EMBLA 384 plate washer (Molecular Devices) and refilled with assay buffer. The plates were incubated at a temperature of about 25° C. for 10 min. Subsequently, the plates were inserted into a FLIPR, and 1.5 μM capsaicin (Sigma) solution prepared in assay buffer was added to each well (final concentration was 500 nM). Cellular responses were monitored for 5 min.

Cell Culture:

1. Cell Culture Media

1. Alpha-MEM (Gibco, CAT: 12561-056, LOT: 1285752): 450 mL.

2. Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), heat inactivated (Gibco, CAT: 16140-071, LOT: 1276457): 50 mL.

3. HEPES Buffer Solution, 1M stock (Gibco, CAT: 15630-080): 10 mL (final 20 mM).

4. Geneticin, 50 mg/mL stock (Gibco, CAT: 10135-035): 10 mL (final 1 mg/mL).

5. Antimicotic Antibiotic Mixed Solution, 100× stock (Nacalai Tesque, CAT: 02892-54): 5 mL.

Components 1-5 above were combined at the indicated amounts and stored at 4° C. The cell culture media were brought to about 37° C. before use. Optionally, component 5 can be replaced by penicillin-streptomycin solution (for example, Gibco 15140-122 or Sigma P-0781).

2. Thawing the Cells

TRPV1/CHO cells were frozen in CELLBANKER™ (Juji-Field, Inc., Japan, CAT: BLC-1) and stored at −80° C. Optimized cryopreservation solution containing dimethyl sulfoxide and FBS was used.

Vials containing the TRPV1/CHO cells were stored at −80° C. After removal from −80° C., the vial was immediately transferred to a 37° C. water bath to thaw for ca. 1-2 minutes. Once completely thawed, the contents of the vial (1 mL/vial) was transferred to a sterile 15 mL test tube and 9 mL warm culture media were slowly added. The test tube was subsequently centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 4 min at a temperature of about 25° C. The supernatant was removed and the pellet resuspended in 10 mL of culture media. The cell suspension was transferred to a sterile 75 cm² plastic flask and incubated at humidified 5% CO₂/95% air at 37° C. To monitor viability, the cells were visually inspected and/or counted, beginning at approximately 1 hr after incubation.

3. Passaging the Cells

The cells in a flask were close to confluence at the time of passaging. Cell culture media were removed from the culture flask and 10 mL of sterile PBS(−) added and the flask gently shaken. The PBS was removed from the flask and 2 mL of trypsin/EDTA solution (0.05% trypsin with EDTA-4Na; Gibco, CAT: 25300-054) was added and the flask gently shaken. The flask was incubated at 37° C. for about 2 min. 8 mL cell culture media were subsequently added to the flask and the flask shaken to ensure that all cells were in solution. The cell suspension was then transferred to a sterile 15 mL or 50 mL plastic tube, centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 4 min at a temperature of about 25° C. The supernatant was removed and the pellet resuspended in ca. 5 mL of culture media. The cell count was measured using the Burker-Turk hemocytometer.

The cells were seeded into a sterile 75 cm² plastic flask in ca. 0.8×10⁵ cells/mL for 72 hr and incubated in humidified 5% CO₂/95% air at 37° C.

4. Freezing the Cells

The procedure up to the measurement of the cell count was the same as in the Section entitled “Passaging the Cells” above. Subsequently, the cell suspension was centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 4 min at a temperature of about 25° C. The supernatant was removed and the pellet resuspended in CELLBANKER™ solution to get a final concentration of from 5×10⁵ to 5×10⁶ cells/mL. The cell suspension was transferred into appropriately labeled 1 mL cryovials and then placed into the −80° C. freezer.

pH-Based Assay:

The following assay was conducted to determine the concentration of sulfuric acid that would give rise to a pH that induces a Ca²⁺ response optimal to test compounds for their effect on TRPV1.

1. Cells

TRPV1/CHO cells were seeded in the 96-well clear-bottom black-wall plate (Nunc) at densities of 1-2×10⁴ cells/well and grown in 100 μL of culture medium (alpha-MEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 20 mM HEPES, 1 mg/mL geneticin and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic mixed stock solution) for 1-2 days before the experiment.

2. Determination of pH Sensitivity and Agonist Dose

2.1. Agonist Solution

Seven different agonist solutions with sulfuric acid concentrations of 15.0, 15.5, 16.0, 16.5, 17.0, 17.5, and 18.0 mM were prepared by diluting 1M sulfuric acid with measuring buffer (see, e.g., FIG. 1 of U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2009/0170868 A1). The different sulfuric acid concentrations in the agonist solutions were selected such that a 1:4 dilution would result in a final sulfuric acid concentration of 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6 mM, denoted “B” through “H” respectively. Buffer without sulfuric acid, denoted “A”, was also used.

2.2. Assay

pH dependent Ca²⁺ responses in TRPV1/CHO cells cultured in a 96-well plate were determined (see, e.g., FIG. 2 of U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2009/0170868 A1). In particular, Ca²⁺ influx into TRPV1/CHO cells in response to low pH as measured by Fura-2 AM fluorescence was determined. The cells were stimulated using 3.0 mM (well numbers B1-B6), 3.1 mM (C1-C6), 3.2 mM (D1-D6), 3.3 mM (E1-E6), 3.4 mM (F1-F6), 3.5 mM (G1-G6), or 3.6 mM (H1-H6) H₂SO₄ or pH 7.2 measuring buffer without H₂SO₄ (A1-A6).

(1) Culture medium was removed using an 8-channel-pipette (Rainin, USA) from the 96-well plate and the wells were refilled with 100 μL of loading buffer (20 mM HEPES, 115 mM NaCl, 5.4 mM KCl, 0.8 mM MgCl₂, 1.8 mM CaCl₂, 13.8 mM D-glucose, 2.5 mM probenecid, pH 7.4) containing 5 μM Fura-2 AM (Dojin, Japan).

(2) The 96-well plate was incubated at 37° C. for 45 min.

(3) The loading buffer was removed from each well. The cells were subsequently washed twice with 150 μL of measuring buffer (20 mM HEPES, 115 mM NaCl, 5.4 mM KCl, 0.8 mM MgCl₂, 5.0 mM CaCl₂, 13.8 mM D-glucose, 0.1% BSA, pH 7.4) (no probenecid). The wells were then refilled with 80 μL, of measuring buffer.

(4) After an incubation at 4° C. for 15 min, the 96-well plate was transferred to a model FDSS-3000 plate reader apparatus (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., Japan).

(5) The Fura-2 fluorescent intensity was monitored at a wavelength of 340 nm and at 380 nm, respectively, at a rate of 0.5 Hz for a total of 240 seconds. After 16 time points (32 sec) of baseline detection, 20 μL of agonist solution was added to each well. The final volume was 100 μL/well.

(6) Fluorescence intensity ratio refers to the fluorescence intensity at 340 nm over the fluorescence intensity at 380 nm at a particular time point. The baseline was set as the average of the fluorescent intensity ratios for the first 16 time points before the addition of agonist solution. The maximum response was the highest fluorescent intensity ratio during the 60 time points following addition of agonist solution.

(7) Maximal signal ratios from each well were calculated as output data using the FDSS-3000 analysis program. Data were analyzed using Excel (Microsoft) and XLfit (idbs) software.

2.3. pH Determination

After the observation of Ca²⁺ responses, the buffer of each lane of the 96-well plate (50 μL/well, 8-20 wells/plate) was collected well by well and the pH values were measured using a portable pH meter (Shindengen, Japan).

The Ca²⁺ responses in lanes D and E were intermediate and therefore optimal for testing the effects of compounds on the TRPV1 calcium channel (see, e.g., FIG. 2 of U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2009/0170868 A1). The final sulfuric acid concentrations in the wells of these lanes were 3.2 mM and 3.3 mM, respectively. These final sulfuric acid concentrations were obtained using agonist solutions with 16.0 mM and 16.5 mM sulfuric acid concentrations, respectively (lanes D and E). The pH obtained using these sulfuric acid concentrations was from about 5.0 to about 5.1.

Thus, agonist solutions with 16.0 mM and 16.5 mM sulfuric acid concentrations, respectively (lanes D and E), were selected for the experiments described below in Section 3.

3. pH Assay

3.1. Agonist

In an “agonist plate,” two different agonist solutions with different H₂SO₄ concentrations were used for the pH assay (see, e.g., FIG. 3A of U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2009/0170868 A1). For the first half of a 96-well plate one agonist solution was used; for the second half the other agonist solution was used. The agonist solutions were obtained by diluting sulfuric acid (1M H₂SO₄) with measuring buffer. The concentrations for the two agonist solutions were determined as described above in Section 2 of Protocol 2.

The sulfuric acid concentrations between the two agonist solutions differed by 0.5 mM. In the experiment described in Section 2 of Protocol 2, the sulfuric acid concentrations in the agonist solutions were determined to be 16 mM and 16.5 mM, respectively. After 1:4 dilution of the agonist solutions, the final sulfuric acid concentration was 3.2 mM and 3.3 mM, respectively. The resulting pH value for the pH assay was 5.0 to 5.1.

3.2. Test Compounds

Test compounds were dissolved in DMSO to yield 1 mM stock solutions. The stock solutions were further diluted using DMSO in 1:3 serial dilution steps with 6 points (1000, 250, 62.5, 15.625, 3.9062, and 0.977 μM). The thereby-obtained solutions were further diluted in measuring buffer (1:100) as 10× stock serial dilutions with a DMSO concentration of 1%. 10 μL of a 10× stock was added into each well of an “antagonist plate” (see step 3.3.(4) below). Thus, the final concentrations of antagonists was as follows: 0.977, 3.906, 15.63, 62.5, 250, and 1000 nM containing 0.1% DMSO (see, e.g., FIG. 3B of U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2009/0170868 A1).

3.3. Assay

Steps (1) and (2) of this Assay were the same as steps 2.2.(1) and 2.2.(2), respectively, of Protocol 2.

(3) The cells were washed twice with 150 μL of measuring buffer (mentioned in step 2.2.(3) of Protocol 2, no probenecid). The wells were subsequently refilled with 70 μL of measuring buffer.

(4) Either 10 μL of measuring buffer or 10 μL of 10× stock serial dilution of test compound (described in step 3.2. above) were applied to each well. Usually, only one test compound was tested per 96-well plate. The number of replicates per 96-well plate for a particular antagonist at a particular concentration was 2×7 since, as described for the “agonist plate,” two different sulfuric acid concentrations were used per 96-well plate and seven lanes (A-C, E-H) per 96-well plate were used (N=2×7).

Step (5) was the same as step 2.2.(4) above.

(6) Fura-2 fluorescent intensity was monitored as described in step 2.2.(5) above. After 16 time points of baseline detection, 20 μL of agonist solution (measuring buffer titrated with H₂SO₄ to yield a pH in the range of from about 5.0 to about 5.1 when mixed 1:4 with the measuring buffer containing test compound) was added to each well (final volume 100 μL/well).

Steps (7) and (8) were as described in steps 2.2.(6) and 2.2.(7) above, respectively.

3.4. pH Check

(1) The pH values of the buffer in the wells of A1 through H1 and A7 through H7 were measured one by one using a portable pH meter.

(2) When a well was confirmed as having a pH of from about 5.0 to about 5.1, the next five wells to its right (e.g., for well B1, wells B2 through B6) were checked one after another.

(3) For IC₅₀ calculation, only the data from wells with pH values of 5.0-5.1 were used.

The number of wells tested for their pH varied among plates (from about 16 to 60 wells/plate). The number depended on the results of step 3.4.(1) above and the Ca²⁺ responses.

Capsaicin-Based Assay:

One day prior to assay, TRPV1/CHO cells were seeded in 96-well clear-bottom black plates (20,000 cells/well) in growth media. On the day of the experiment, the cells were washed with 0.2 mL 1× Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (Life Technologies) containing 1.6 mM CaCl₂ and 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4 (“wash buffer”). Subsequently, the cells were loaded by incubation in 0.1 mL of wash buffer containing Fluo-4 at 3 μM final concentration. After 1 hour, the cells were washed twice with 0.2 mL wash buffer and resuspended in 0.1 mL wash buffer. The plates were then transferred to a Fluorescence Imaging Plate Reader (Molecular Devices). Fluorescence intensity was monitored for 15 seconds to establish a baseline. Subsequently, test compounds diluted in assay buffer (1× Hank's Balanced Salt Solution containing 1 mM CaCl₂ and 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4) containing 1% DMSO were added to the cell plate and fluorescence was monitored for 2 minutes. The final concentration of the compound was adjusted to range from 100 μM to 1.5625 μM. If the test compound was an especially potent antagonist, the final concentration of the compound was adjusted to range from 10 μM to 1.5625 nM. Human TRPV1 was then activated by the addition of 50 pt capsaicin (100 nM final concentration) and plates incubated for an additional 3 min. Data were collected over the entire time course and analyzed using Excel and the curve-fitting formula GraphPad Prism.

The results of the assays of Protocol 2 are shown in Table 10.

Human TRPV1 Heat-Based Assay:

CHO cells stably expressing human TRPV1 (hTRPV1) were used. Functional assessment of heat-induced activation of hTRPV1 was carried out in a cell-based Ca²⁺ flux assay using ABI7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System as described in Reubish et al., “Functional assessment of temperature-gated ion-channel activity using a real-time PCR machine,” www.BioTechniques.com 47(3):iii-ix (2009), which is hereby incorporated by reference. Briefly, hTRPV1/CHO cells were cultured in growth media in a tissue culture dish at 37° C. in a CO₂ incubator. On the day of the assay, culture media were removed and the cells were then detached using 0.05% trypsin at 37° C. with 5% CO₂, for 90 s. The detached cells were centrifuged (1000 rpm, 4 min) to remove trypsin-containing supernatant and resuspended in assay buffer (115 mM NaCl, 5.4 mM KCl, 0.8 mM MgCl₂.6H₂O, 1.8 mM CaCl₂.2H₂O, 13.8 mM D-glucose, and 20 mM HEPES). Then, the cells were loaded with 5 μM Fluo-4, a Ca²⁺ reporter dye, in the presence of 2.5 mM probenecid at 37° C. with 5% CO₂, for 45 min. Thereafter, the cells were washed twice with measuring buffer (assay buffer supplemented with 0.1% BSA and 3.2 mM CaCl₂) then transferred to a Fast 96-well Reaction Plate (0.1 mL) (Part no. 4346907, MICROAMP, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.). The cell density was 100,000 cells/24 μL/well. A solution of the compound under test (6 μL/well) was added into each well of the 96-well plate. Thus, the reaction volume per well was 30 pt.

The plates were then placed inside an ABI7500 Fast Real-Time PCR instrument (Applied Biosystems) to read fluorescence at different temperatures using 7500 software, version 2.0.2 (Applied Biosystems). The initial temperature was set at 25° C. for 1 min. followed by a temperature ramp to 45° C. in 100 s to deliver heat to cells. [Ca²⁺]_(i) response of hTRPV1/CHO cells to heat was determined as:

-   -   [fluorescence read at 45° C.-fluorescence read at 25° C.].

Compound concentration response curves and IC₅₀ values were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 4 software (GraphPad Software, La Jolla, Calif.).

The IC₅₀ data provided in Table 10 are shown as mean±standard error of the mean; the number of trials conducted for each assay is shown in parentheses except for only a single trial where no number of trials is shown in parentheses. The results in Table 10 demonstrate that many Compounds of Formula (I) have superior potency.

5.10 Example 10: In Vivo Assays for Prevention or Treatment of Pain

Test Animals:

Each experiment uses rats weighing between 200-260 g at the start of the experiment. The rats are group-housed and have free access to food and water at all times, except prior to oral administration of a Compound of Formula (I) when food is removed for 16 hours before dosing. A control group acts as a comparison to rats treated with a Compound of Formula (I). The control group is administered the carrier for the Compound of Formula (I). The volume of carrier administered to the control group is the same as the volume of carrier and Compound of Formula (I) administered to the test group.

Acute Pain:

To assess the actions of a Compound of Formula (I) for the treatment or prevention of acute pain, the rat tail flick test can be used. Rats are gently restrained by hand and the tail exposed to a focused beam of radiant heat at a point 5 cm from the tip using a tail flick unit (Model 7360, commercially available from Ugo Basile of Italy). Tail flick latencies are defined as the interval between the onset of the thermal stimulus and the flick of the tail. Animals not responding within 20 seconds are removed from the tail flick unit and assigned a withdrawal latency of 20 seconds. Tail flick latencies are measured immediately before (pre-treatment) and 1, 3, and 5 hours following administration of a Compound of Formula (I). Data are expressed as tail flick latency(s) and the percentage of the maximal possible effect (% MPE), i.e., 20 seconds, is calculated as follows:

${\%\mspace{14mu} M\; P\; E} = {\frac{\left\lbrack {\left( {{post}\mspace{14mu}{administration}\mspace{14mu}{latency}} \right) - \left( {{pre}\text{-}{administration}\mspace{14mu}{latency}} \right)} \right\rbrack}{\left( {20\mspace{14mu} s\mspace{14mu}{pre}\text{-}{administration}\mspace{14mu}{latency}} \right)} \times 100}$

The rat tail flick test is described in D'Amour et al., “A Method for Determining Loss of Pain Sensation,” J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 72:74-79 (1941).

Inflammatory Pain:

To assess the actions of a Compound of Formula (I) for the treatment or prevention of inflammatory pain, the Freund's complete adjuvant (“FCA”) model of inflammatory pain can be used. FCA-induced inflammation of the rat hind paw is associated with the development of persistent inflammatory mechanical hyperalgesia and provides reliable prediction of the antihyperalgesic action of clinically useful analgesic drugs (Bartho et al., “Involvement of capsaicin-sensitive neurons in hyperalgesia and enhanced opioid antinociception in inflammation,” Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacol. 342:666-670 (1990)). The left hind paw of each animal is administered a 50 μL intraplantar injection of 50% FCA. 24 hour post injection, the animal is assessed for response to noxious mechanical stimuli by determining the PWT, as described below. Rats are then administered a single injection of 1, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg of either a Compound of Formula (I); 30 mg/kg of a control selected from Celebrex, indomethacin, and naproxen; or carrier. Responses to noxious mechanical stimuli are then determined 1, 3, 5, and 24 hours post administration. Percentage reversal of hyperalgesia for each animal is defined as:

$\;{{\%\mspace{14mu}{Reversal}} = {\frac{\left\lbrack {\left( {{post}\mspace{14mu}{administration}\mspace{14mu} P\; W\; T} \right) - \left( {{pre}\text{-}{administration}\mspace{14mu} P\; W\; T} \right)} \right\rbrack}{\left\lbrack {\left( {{baseline}\mspace{14mu} P\; W\; T} \right) - \left( {{pre}\text{-}{administration}\mspace{14mu} P\; W\; T} \right)} \right\rbrack} \times 100}}$

Neuropathic Pain:

To assess the actions of a Compound of Formula (I) for the treatment or prevention of neuropathic pain, either the Seltzer model or the Chung model can be used.

In the Seltzer model, the partial sciatic nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain is used to produce neuropathic hyperalgesia in rats (Seltzer et al., “A Novel Behavioral Model of Neuropathic Pain Disorders Produced in Rats by Partial Sciatic Nerve Injury,” Pain 43:205-218 (1990)). Partial ligation of the left sciatic nerve is performed under isoflurane/O₂ inhalation anaesthesia. Following induction of anesthesia, the left thigh of the rat is shaved and the sciatic nerve exposed at high thigh level through a small incision and is carefully cleared of surrounding connective tissues at a site near the trocanther just distal to the point at which the posterior biceps semitendinosus nerve branches off of the common sciatic nerve. A 7-0 silk suture is inserted into the nerve with a ⅜ curved, reversed-cutting mini-needle and tightly ligated so that the dorsal ⅓ to ½ of the nerve thickness is held within the ligature. The wound is closed with a single muscle suture (4-0 nylon (Vicryl)) and vetbond tissue glue. Following surgery, the wound area is dusted with antibiotic powder. Sham-treated rats undergo an identical surgical procedure except that the sciatic nerve is not manipulated. Following surgery, animals are weighed and placed on a warm pad until they recover from anesthesia. Animals are then returned to their home cages until behavioral testing begins. The animal is assessed for response to noxious mechanical stimuli by determining PWT, as described below, prior to surgery (baseline), then immediately prior to and 1, 3, and 5 hours after drug administration for rear paw of the animal. Percentage reversal of neuropathic hyperalgesia is defined as:

$\;{{\%\mspace{14mu}{Reversal}} = {\frac{\left\lbrack {\left( {{post}\mspace{14mu}{administration}\mspace{14mu} P\; W\; T} \right) - \left( {{pre}\text{-}{administration}\mspace{14mu} P\; W\; T} \right)} \right\rbrack}{\left\lbrack {\left( {{baseline}\mspace{14mu} P\; W\; T} \right) - \left( {{pre}\text{-}{administration}\mspace{14mu} P\; W\; T} \right)} \right\rbrack} \times 100}}$

In the Chung model, the spinal nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain is used to produce mechanical hyperalgesia, thermal hyperalgesia and tactile allodynia in rats. Surgery is performed under isoflurane/O₂ inhalation anaesthesia. Following induction of anaesthesia, a 3 cm incision is made and the left paraspinal muscles are separated from the spinous process at the L₄-S₂ levels. The L₆ transverse process is carefully removed with a pair of small rongeurs to identify visually the L₄-L₆ spinal nerves. The left L₅ (or L₅ and L₆) spinal nerve(s) is isolated and tightly ligated with silk thread. A complete hemostasis is confirmed and the wound is sutured using non-absorbable sutures, such as nylon sutures or stainless steel staples. Sham-treated rats undergo an identical surgical procedure except that the spinal nerve(s) is not manipulated. Following surgery animals are weighed, administered a subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of saline or ringers lactate, the wound area is dusted with antibiotic powder and they are kept on a warm pad until they recover from the anesthesia. Animals are then returned to their home cages until behavioral testing begins. The animals are assessed for response to noxious mechanical stimuli by determining PWT, as described below, prior to surgery (baseline), then immediately prior to and 1, 3, and 5 hours after being administered a Compound of Formula (I) for the left rear paw of the animal. The animal can also be assessed for response to noxious thermal stimuli or for tactile allodynia, as described below. The Chung model for neuropathic pain is described in Kim, “An Experimental Model for Peripheral Neuropathy Produced by Segmental Spinal Nerve Ligation in the Rat,” Pain 50(3):355-363 (1992).

Response to Mechanical Stimuli as an Assessment of Mechanical Hyperalgesia:

The paw pressure assay can be used to assess mechanical hyperalgesia. For this assay, hind paw withdrawal thresholds (PWT) to a noxious mechanical stimulus are determined using an analgesymeter (Model 7200, commercially available from Ugo Basile of Italy) as described in Stein, “Unilateral Inflammation of the Hindpaw in Rats as a Model of Prolonged Noxious Stimulation: Alterations in Behavior and Nociceptive Thresholds,” Pharmacol. Biochem. and Behavior 31:451-455 (1988). The maximum weight that can be applied to the hind paw is set at 250 g and the end point is taken as complete withdrawal of the paw. PWT is determined once for each rat at each time point and either only the affected (ipsilateral) paw is tested, or both the ipsilateral and contralateral (non-injured) paw are tested.

Response to Thermal Stimuli as an Assessment of Thermal Hyperalgesia:

The plantar test can be used to assess thermal hyperalgesia. For this test, hind paw withdrawal latencies to a noxious thermal stimulus are determined using a plantar test apparatus (commercially available from Ugo Basile of Italy) following the technique described by Hargreaves et al., “A New and Sensitive Method for Measuring Thermal Nociception in Cutaneous Hyperalgesia,” Pain 32(1):77-88 (1988). The maximum exposure time is set at 32 seconds to avoid tissue damage and any directed paw withdrawal from the heat source is taken as the end point. Three latencies are determined at each time point and averaged. Either only the affected (ipsilateral) paw is tested, or both the ipsilateral and contralateral (non-injured) paw are tested.

Assessment of Tactile Allodynia:

To assess tactile allodynia, rats are placed in clear, plexiglass compartments with a wire mesh floor and allowed to habituate for a period of at least 15 minutes. After habituation, a series of von Frey monofilaments are presented to the plantar surface of the left (operated) foot of each rat. The series of von Frey monofilaments consists of six monofilaments of increasing diameter, with the smallest diameter fiber presented first. Five trials are conducted with each filament with each trial separated by approximately 2 minutes. Each presentation lasts for a period of 4-8 seconds or until a nociceptive withdrawal behavior is observed. Flinching, paw withdrawal or licking of the paw are considered nociceptive behavioral responses.

Capsaicin-Induced Eye Wipe Test:

To assess the effect of Compounds of Formula (I) on TRPV1 receptor-mediated pain, the capsaicin-induced eye wipe test is used (Gavva et al., “AMG 9810 [(E)-3-(4-t-Butylphenyl)-N-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxin-6-yl)acrylamide], a Novel Vanilloid Receptor 1 (TRPV1) Antagonist with Antihyperalgesic Properties”, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 313:474-484 (2005)). The eye wipe test is a reliable high-throughput test of the effect of TRPV1 antagonists. Rats are given a single injection of 1, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg of either a Compound of Formula (I); 30 mg/kg of a control selected from Celebrex, indomethacin, or naproxen; or a carrier. At 1, 3, or 5 hours after drug administration, 3 μL of a 100 μM capsaicin solution (in 10% EtOH/PBS) is instilled in one eye of each animal with a pipette. The number of forelimb movements (touching or wiping of the capsaicin-treated eye) is counted during a 2 minute period following instillation of capsaicin into the eye.

5.11 Example 11: In Vivo Assay of Body Temperature Increase

Test Animals:

Selection of rats (Crl/SD rats, 7 weeks, male) was based on rectal body temperature measured during the morning of the day of dosing as described below. In addition, to minimize spontaneous, stress-induced increases in body temperature, rats were acclimated in advance to both the rectal measurement procedure and to being handled and dosed. All lodging and testing took place in animal care laboratories with constant room temperature and humidity. The rats were free to move and ingest food and water throughout. Each rat was coded with a colored line on the tail, housed in a separate cage, and permitted the normal range of movement. Immediately before each body temperature measurement, a rat was transferred to a measurement cage. To reduce stress which could influence its body temperature, each rat was covered with towels during the measurement. A thermistor probe was then carefully inserted into the rectum of each rat and left in place until the temperature reading on the digital display had stabilized; this value was recorded.

Assay:

On the day before dosing, rectal body temperature was measured at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:30, 13:30, 14:30, and 15:30 o'clock to familiarize the rats with the measurement procedure prior to administration of the test or control treatments. The rats were also dosed by oral gavage without vehicle at 12:30 o'clock to acclimate and familiarize them with the handling and dosing procedure.

On the day of dosing, only rats with rectal body temperatures within the range of from 37.0° C. to 37.7° C. were selected for study. Rectal body temperatures were measured at 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 o'clock. Rats were excluded from the study if either their rectal body temperature was over 37.9° C. at 10:00 o'clock or was outside the range of from 37.0° C. to 37.7° C. at 11:00 o'clock. The selected rats were divided into several groups based on their rectal body temperatures at 11:00 o'clock. Rectal body temperatures of the selected rats were measured again at 12:30 o'clock and any rat with a rectal body temperature of 38.0° C. or greater was also excluded from the study.

Following assignment to either a test or control group, a test compound or a control was administered to the rats. Each test compound was dissolved in a vehicle of 0.5% aqueous methylcellulose solution and the final concentration of the test compound was adjusted to 1 mg/mL. Each test compound was orally administered once at a dose of 10 mL/kg. The same volume of the control (vehicle only) was administered once to the control group. Rectal body temperatures were measured at the following time points: 0.5, 1, and 2 hrs after administration.

The body temperature increase (ΔTb) for each test compound was calculated by subtracting, at each time point, the average temperature of the control group from the average temperature of the group administered that test compound. The greatest ΔTb obtained for each test compound at any of the time points is shown in Table 11 below, along with the ΔTb of the control.

TABLE 11 Body Temperature Increase Compound ΔTb (° C.) Structure Control 0.0 — G155a  0.31 G156a  0.30 G158a  0.23 G159a  0.31 G215a −0.09 BA 0.9

BB 0.5

BC 0.7

As demonstrated by the data above, Compounds of Formula (I) are capable of ameliorating the undesirable side effect of an increase in body temperature that can occur upon in vivo administration of a compound which modulates the TRPV1 receptor. For example, the body temperature increase after administration of Compounds of Formula (I) is less than 0.7° C. in one embodiment, 0.6° C. or less in another embodiment, less than 0.6° C. in another embodiment, 0.5° C. or less in another embodiment, less than 0.5° C. in another embodiment, 0.4° C. or less in another embodiment, less than 0.4° C. in another embodiment, 0.33° C. or less in another embodiment, less than 0.33° C. in another embodiment, 0.31° C. or less in another embodiment, 0.3° C. or less in another embodiment, less than 0.3° C. in another embodiment, 0.25° C. or less in another embodiment, less than 0.25° C. in another embodiment, 0.23° C. or less in another embodiment, 0.2° C. or less in another embodiment, less than 0.2° C. in another embodiment, 0.1° C. or less in another embodiment, or less than 0.1° C. in another embodiment.

In particular, the body temperature increase after administration of Compounds of Formulae (I), (II), and/or (III) was determined to be less than 0.5° C., in some cases much less than 0.5° C., e.g., no increase at all for Compound G215a; less than 0.25° C. for Compound G158a; and 0.31° C. or less for Compounds G155a, G156a, and G159a. In contrast, the body temperature increase after administration of other compounds was determined to be 0.5° C. or greater, in some cases much greater than 0.5° C., e.g., 0.7° C. for Compound BC and 0.9° C. for Compound BA.
